Yesterday the Labour Government announced a definition of anti-Muslim hostility.🌹

This has been a decade long campaign of mine to give Muslims protection from the hate and discrimination we face on a daily basis.β˜ͺ️

Donald Trump is not impossible to predict, Beijing now knows that Beijing now has a better gauge of Donald Trump's tolerance for economic pain, a crucial factor as they game the invasion of Taiwan.

This is violent, sickening rhetoric.

GB News commentator claiming here that non β€œindigenous” people are committing β€œgenocide” against the UK.

GB News is beyond the fucking pale

Kemi Badenoch backs Trump while Nigel Farage jets off to Mar-a-Lago.

A state visit for a President who has dragged the world into conflict with no clear goals would be inappropriate.

Derided as a 'Scottish Genesis' - despite being formed in Aylesbury - being incredibly uncool didn't stop neo-prog band Marillion selling shedloads of records in the '80s.

Nor did it stop them making something quietly heartbreaking from a 17th century nursery rhyme...

Green Party say 'Hannah Spencer won't be silenced' after Manchester violence Hannah Spencer, Gorton and Denton's newly-elected MP, was ushered into a police car amid the unfolding chaos

The anti trans men who chased Hannah Spencer, this is exactly who these men are. Misogynists who just love an excuse to hound women for not doing what they tell us. All male terfs act like that. And the women are just as vicious www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

Just an observation, but I noticed that the 'Lobby' is also very, if not totally white.

As β€˜Buy Canadian’ grows, more US companies say retailers turning away their products The "Buy Canadian" movement is sending new ripples of concern through the executive offices of U.S.-based consumer companies that banked on selling their products on Canadian retail shelves.

Incredibly normal to be banging on the door of the Quakers repeatedly but allowing literal organisations such as Britain first to stalk homes of refugees and domestic violence survivors every weekend.

Totally normal is this government. Not worried at all.

Absolutely insupportable. Labour have a massive majority. It’s a hugely popular issue. To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.

On IWD this year the theme is 'give to gain' - thank you to all those working to support women!

I can't let today pass without thanking my mum. ❀️ Not only has she sacrificed so much to support me but everyday she exemplifies resilience, grit and kindness.

"When women thrive, we all rise."

Happy International Women’s Day!

It’s an honour to serve as the first female MP for North East Hampshire in our most diverse Parliament yet.

There's still much to do to advance equality and inclusion, but today, please join me in celebrating the women around you πŸ™Œ

The last thing the UK needs just now is Tony Blair’s advice on whether to trust a US President about a Middle East war. We know how that White House movie ended.

Another day on the doors spreading the good word for team #BromleyTown. Compliments and casework picked up with a strong message of reform not wanted here.

I'm always keen to hear the opinion of our Libdem MPs with military experience (of which the party has a good handful).

Thank you for such a well reasoned message.

Trump has committed the US to a folly in Iran, without a strategy. The UK was right not to join him.

Without a clear strategy from the United States, the United Kingdom is right not to follow Trump in Iran.

The lessons learned in Iraq came at the cost of British lives. We must apply those lessons.

A Starmer fan (?) on Threads think it is jumping on a right wing media bandwagon to point out that Labour just made its first gain ever in a council by-election from Reform.
